Datagram Launches Alpha Testnet for DePIN Interoperability
British Virgin, Islands, June 11th, 2025, Chainwire
Datagram has launched its Alpha Testnet, enabling users to participate in the operation and validation of a verifiable coordination layer for interoperability of DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks). The testnet allows participants to run nodes, contribute to network performance, and earn rewards for uptime and referrals.
Datagram’s infrastructure is designed to address growing concerns around the fragility and centralization of today’s internet. Many services rely on proprietary clouds, vendor-controlled APIs, and networks with limited transparency. Datagram introduces a composable runtime fabric that hosts, routes, verifies, and scores workloads across fragmented DePIN networks, with coordination based on proof rather than trust. It emphasizes transparency, measurable contribution, and minimal reliance on central intermediaries to support the verifiable infrastructure layer.
The Alpha Testnet runs on its custom Avalanche-based Layer 1 chain. Participants can install node software, which automatically checks report status and availability four times a day. Each successful check-in earns airdrop points, which are scheduled to convert into $DGRAM tokens during the planned TGE in Q3 2025. Up to 2.25% of the token supply will be allocated to Alpha Testnet node participants. Additional hardware rewards will be offered to top contributors with high and consistent uptime.
Focusing on network growth, Datagram is implementing a referral system. When a referred user runs a node with at least 28 successful check-ins (approx. seven days of uptime), the referrer receives a bonus. If the referred user later purchases a Full Core license, a high-performance and independently owned Datagram node, the referrer also receives a share of the sale and a portion of the referred node’s future rewards. This structure supports an organic expansion of the network through active contributors.
Operating a Datagram node is open to anyone and does not require blockchain-specific expertise. Node operators provide direct support to the network’s performance and earn token-based rewards based on uptime. Early participation offers access to a larger share of available rewards during the initial token distribution period.
How to Join
- Sign up at datagram.network and start running a node.
- Invite users to your network to earn referral bonuses and long-term residuals.
- Accumulate airdrop points for $DGRAM TGE.
- Contribute to the advanced DePIN coordination layer.
The Alpha Testnet is the first public deployment phase and is intended to gather operational data, support community participation, and inform future updates to the network.
